Details of the WIS North Atlantic hindcast are provided elsewhere, and 

 thus, only a brief overview of the WIS analysis is given here for completeness. 

 Completed WIS hindcast estimates for U.S. coastal waters were performed in 

 three phases. Phases I and II, respectively, provided wind and wave conditions 

 in deep water and over the continental shelf region. Phase III determined 

 wave conditions at the 10-m (33-ft) depth. The original WIS hindcast for the 

 Atlantic Coast Phase II included stations outside the Saco Bay area (Corson 

 et al. 1981). Phase III hindcast for the Atlantic Coast had a station within 

 Saco Bay (Jensen 1983), but wave data were generated by transforming 

 Phase II results to a depth of 10 m (33 ft) assuming straight and parallel
